Owner Experience Review

Owners and captains look to the 31 OpenfromSTRIKEas an offshore sportfishing tool that doubles for day trips and short weekend cruising. Brokerage materials cite its center‑console layout with outriggers, a livewell/baitwell, insulated fishbox, and saltwater washdown—features that suit tournament work as well as family day‑cruising. Reported performance is confident, with an around‑30‑knot cruise and near‑45‑knot top on twin inboards, and multiple forum posters describe the ride as a “hell of a sea boat,” “very stable, no pounding, great ride.”

Comfort on board is purposefully minimal for a 31‑footer: one head, roughly 20 gallons of freshwater, and limited cabin space, reinforcing that this is a day‑boat first. The cockpit and console ergonomics favor anglers over lounging space. On the ownership side, forum comments range from strong ride praise to serious cautionary notes—one poster writes “nothing but horror stories,” and others cite through‑hull/scupper problems tied to boats sinking at the dock. A brokerage example showing recent major mechanicals (new turbos, heat exchangers, manifolds, rebuilt fuel pumps) suggests big‑ticket systems to inspect. A thorough survey of scuppers/through‑hulls and engines is advisable, as individual histories vary.

Pros and Cons

• Confident offshore ride, with multiple forum comments praising stability and lack of pounding.
• Strong performance for the size, with about a 30‑knot cruise and near‑45‑knot top on twin inboards.
• Fishing‑first layout—center‑console walkaround with outriggers, livewell/baitwell, insulated fishbox, and washdown—fits tournaments and day trips.
• Minimal accommodations for 31 feet—single head, roughly 20 gallons of freshwater, and limited cabin—favor day use over extended stays.
• Forum reports cite maintenance/build concerns, including through‑hull/scupper issues and even sinkings at the dock on some boats.
• Reported to feel heavy at displacement speeds, and examples show potentially costly engine/system items to inspect.
